you oughtta see it sometime, it's a sight. A big plane like a '52. VRROOM! There's jet exhaust, fryin' chickens in the barnyard.

Hey raizei - How are the participants able to "participate" if they can't utilize the contacts UI (since its down/broken - correction temperamental at times) to make flights...? Are we assuming chat works on WG end? Is that why this event was pushed through? Have you guys been reading these forum lately about the past 2 days posts of 10+ complaints about the chat being broken?...

Might help the entry levels if chat was working 100% - which is not the case right now. Just giving you a hint there.

I've edited the main post to include the fix we have for the particular issue - hopefully for most people that are currently experiencing this issue, this should solve it.

I literally clear my cache everytime whenever I start playing. Chat is always down. I am not sure how support will help me with that.

well they can match you up with a Chat Bot and laugh hysterically each time you send in a follow up ticket...

Chat Bots are very nice and complement you and apologize to you and generally make you feel like you're accomplishing something... when in reality you're just talking to a software program designed to wear you down with nonsense and time wasting busywork...

it's very effective and depending on your frame of mind and level of loneliness it can be fun

if the pilot's good, see, I mean, if he's really..sharp, he can barrel that baby in so low [he spreads his arms like wings and laughs],

All of our support reps are people, and try to help as much as they can. (the only "Chat bots are actually the ones in game ;) ) Clearing the game cache has helped restore chat functionality. (Tested it myself when Mine wasn't working) Other than that make sure that port 5022 is open as that's the port that chat uses. Using the WGcheck tool should open the necessary ports automatically.

I like this contest but I was thinking maybe have a 2nd and 3rd place prize too like WG use too. Maybe 1 premium plane choice for 2nd place and say 200 gold and 3 days premium for 3rd. Shows the other flights that put a lot of effort in to the event that even if they can not get 1st there is a chance to win something.

please give them the gold planes. They deserve to win your competition.

15,505, shouldn't be that hard to beat. I have seen people posting 20,000+ games. I'll be playing tonight starting at 9:30pm ET, looking for a flight mate. So dfar I am at 2/15 of the minimum required flight battles. Having the contacts list broken doesn't help.

Is this cumulative over the duration of the contest, or the flight with the best battle/highest combat points in a single battle?

Confusing.

​not really that confusing. Everything in that posts implies a grand total of points over the set duration. Accumulate = to increase gradually in quantity or number. Amount = a quantity of something. Most = greatest in amount. All three words in WG's post clearly mean a total of more than one battle. Also why would they ask for a minimum of 15 battles if the contest was based on the results of one?
